So for my final project, I think I'm going to look at rage comics, like the ones at ragecomics.com. While there are several sites devoted to rage comics (ragestache.com, ragecollection.com, and ragecomicarchive.com) I picked ragecomics.com because it was the first on the list that didn't link to a website devoted to lolcats. So yeah, time to look at links.
It turns out that ragecomics.com does not link well to other sites, but instead to rage comics on its site. It knows its purpose, what people come to expect, and how to present it. There are two small links at the bottom of the page, devoted to what are called "sister sites." All three are own by the same media group--Rainy Cape S. L.. Ragecomics does also host links to follow them on Twitter or like them on Facebook. That's about it. I almost find it interesting that the site does not link to other rage comic sites. I think it doesn't because then they'd have repeating comics or that the site is simply trying to make money and by linking to a competitor, they would be taking away hits to their own site.
Any chance you think people would be less likely to like/revisit their site BECAUSE they don't link to other similar sites, thereby lessening the appeal of their own site for lack of user-friendliness? You say you "almost find it interesting" that they do this. Just curious what you possible move they COULD make to improve their site? I looked at it. It is pretty basic, like you say.
